His younger brother Casey Affleck may never stand a chance to grace the podium of honesty (remember that Joaquin Phoenix mockumentary?), but elder bro Ben Affleck has proved that he’s a daredevil in this department too. The Oscar winner has been applauded for his honesty by a West Virginia casino owner after Ben returned a $250,000 cheque upon discovering he’d been mistakenly paid twice for an appearance.
Contactmusic reports,
The Oscar winner was mistakenly send two $250,000 (GBP166,670) payments for attending the star-studded grand opening of an $80 million (GBP53.3 million) casino at the famed Geenbrier resort in White Sulphur Springs on 2 July (10). And casino owner Jim Justice is heaping praise on the star for not pocketing the extra cash – because his accounting staff wouldn’t have spotted the error.
Wow! That was a pretty tough task. I can’t imagine myself pulling off a similar trick even with a zero less in the cheque amount. OK, I was just kidding a bit to punch some fun in this tale. Actually, he is so very similar to me. And yes, Jennifer Garner is a lucky woman!
